Suicide Bombers?

Last Saturday The Sun newspaper

carried a "News" report describing how Osama Bin Laden's terror group were being condemned for sending two Down's Syndrome women with bombs strapped to them into the crowded market places of downtown Baghdad. Their report then went on to describe them as Suicide Bombers.

Can anyone please tell me HOW these poor unfortunates can be described as "suicide bombers" when the report goes on to say: "They were mentally disabled."

A suicidee has to have a mind of his/her own when deciding to take his/her own life. How on Earth can these poor souls - by any stretch of the imagination - be described as suicide bombers when they are, quote: "mentally disabled"?

Down's sufferers are renowned for being the most trusting, gentle and loving of humans. If anything it is WE the "NORMAL" who are mentally deficient.

The cowardly terrorist plotters' even resorted to remotely detonating the bombs using mobile phones, and thus caused mass destruction of life whilst not being at any risk themselves, doesn't this vile act alone rather point to MURDER of these unfortunate women and the other innocents rather than SUICIDE?

These two women were NOT suicide bombers, they were SHORT RANGE GUIDED HUMAN MISSILES who'd been given a few shekels and new belts to do a bit of shopping..

I despair of humanity, sometimes.

Love and Marriage.

She Has It Coming!

My wife and I married very young. We were so in love that we couldn't bear to be apart. But of course the novelty soon began to wane. The marriage began to come apart at the seams and I considered divorce. The financial cost though, would have crippled me so I thought about other options.

With due considerations over I plumped for murder. But how could I carry out such a dastardly deed without being found out?

I considered a contrived accident, faked suicide and even framing someone else, but each time I found a flaw in my plans. And then it struck me! How simple!

Eureka!! Why hadn't I thought of it before!? I'd LOVE her to death!

So I started that very same afternoon. I took her on the kitchen table. Then, half an hour later we made love again in the bedroom. Later that evening we were in bed quite early and we were at it again.

And again in the early hours of the morning. Ever since then I've made sure that I give her a good seeing to whenever we have the opportunity.

This "murder" started forty odd years ago and she still doesn't realise how close she is to meeting her maker!*

Mind you, what with my heart problems and high blood pressure, it's more like a suicide attempt now.

*See Faith and Godalmighty!
